It's probably the only holiday that is univesally identifiable by all humans. The passage of time applies to all religions, races, tribes and nationalities. In fact, it applies to all created things. We just got back from the redwood forest, and even things that live as long as redwoods know the passage of time.

It's one of my favorites. It means I don't have to listen to the same shit xmas music for another 10 months.
